Chopped Parsley
Approx 100g/4oz Feta cheese, broken into small pieces

1/4 Cup White Wine Vinegar
3/4 Cup Olive oil
1 teaspoon Oregano
2 Garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon Dried Red Chopped Chillies
Salt/pepper
Combine ingredients in a pint size jar and shake vigorously.
Method
Pasta Salad
Cook the tortellini but not completely, a few minutes less than their actual cooking time. Drain and rinse in cold water.
Add all the above mentioned ingredients and dressing except the feta cheese. Mix together, then add pieces of feta cheese and give it one final mix.
Chill in the fridge before serving. The longer it stays in the fridge the dressing absorbs into the pasta and makes it even more tastier! Enjoy
